For thousands of years, the rich terrestrial vegetations of Papua New Guinea have provided essential habitat and protection for the survival of the Papuan people (Map I) (Worldatlas.com, 2012) (Nicholls, 2004). The diversity of terrestrial vegetation in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is represented by beach grasses, located along the coastal lines, moving inland towards lowland tropical rainforest (LTF) and ending with alpine forests of mountain peaks (Table I) (Nicholls, 2004). PNG's lowland rainforest dominates much of the country's landscape and is considered the region richest in biodiversity, timber and minerals (Swartzendruber, 1993). This latter notion resulted in a deep reciprocal connection that continues to exist between the Papuan people and their environment in general, and in particular the biologically rich lowland forest formations. This Papuan rainforest is divergent in appearance and extends from areas below 500 to 1,000 meters to reach 3,000 m. above sea level, where it receives precipitation of between 2,500 and 3,500 mm per year (Schaffer, 2012). Additionally, canopy trees tend to have straight trunks and spread over large areas, with heights between 50 and 25 m (Schaffer, 2012). At low altitudes, thin arable formations are abundant, which favors the evolution of buttress-rooted trees and dictates the forest ecosystem (Schaffer, 2012). The vast majority of Papuans (87% of the population) reside in rural areas where they rely on the LTF for agriculture, hunting and gathering as a means of survival (Nicholls, 2004). Needless to say, the existence of potentially abundant forest resources has extended the benefits and values ​​of Papua's LTRs well beyond their subsistence role for the indigenous population, to include benefits of a financial, social and environmental nature. Sequentially, the combined benefits and uses provided by the PNG LTR have attracted the attention of different stakeholder groups, each of which represents a unique and well-considered management perspective that well defines their own interest in the forest. With this in mind, three main stakeholder groups would be involved in the management of PNG's LTR: foreign investors, local government and environmental groups. The existing links between the commitments of these different groups and the benefits of the forest in turn create compromises in land use which generate conflicts between the groups concerned. The variation in perspectives between these multiple stakeholder groups highlights the need to objectively assess the benefits and values ​​of PNG LTR from each group's perspective. At the same time, addressing the differences in perspectives on how to manage this forest landscape will provide a clear picture that better describes the sustainable future of PNG's LTR..
